[fpc-pascal]"select" is behaving strangely ...

Hi!
Thank to this mailinglist I got to know the "select"-function, that helped me
very much in creating a test application.
But ... (there's always a "but" in life I guess) ;-)
It's working with HTTP but POP3 and NNTP are making problems.
Enclosed you will find my testprogram that makes a connection to a computer
named "zhad" on port 110.
Everything seems to work, but when I try to fetch a message mith RETR, the
last lines aren't fetched, select is telling me, there were no more lines to
fetch. :-(
Same happens with NNTP. When I display a list of all newsgroups, all messages
in one newsgroup or a single message, the last 130-100 bytes aren't fetched.
:-(
Since this is happening with different programs, I guess it's not depending
on the NNTP-daemon or POP3-daemon.
I'm working with the 1.0.5 on a linux kernel 2.2.13
Maybe it's a problem in FPC or the linux-unit, maybe the kernel?
Is there a workaround I can take?
BTW: When I'm manually fetching the lines (When I don't care about the things
"select" is telling me), the program is fetching the left lines. But since I
then cannot be sure about the last line to fetch, this is no real workaround
... :-(
I hope someone can help me ...
Thanks!
Michael
